Sweet New Ride

Our plan when we left Green Lake NFH in Ellsworth, Maine on October 1st was to arrive at Goose Island State Park in Rockport, Texas on October 31st.  Approximately 2300 miles.  We were going to make several stops along the way for disc golf and sightseeing.

Well, you know what they say about plans …

On October 5th we got a call that the new truck Mark had ordered in early August had been built and delivered.  We had expected it to arrive in November! 

So, we headed back home.

Here it is, our brand new 2019 Ford F350:




This is our first diesel.  Mark ordered the special fifth-wheel hitch package and all the bells and whistles and things I don’t understand.  All I care about are the extended running boards and the heated seats!  


Someone managed to put 14.7 miles on it before we got it!


There is nothing like that new car smell!

    I too love heated seats. Wish ours had heated seats in back because occasionally I end up sitting back there!

    On the flip side, air conditioned seats just feel weird...

    That looks pretty nice.is it av4 x 4? We have a 2 x 4 on order. We have a Ford F350 dulie on order. Should be in December. Our F450 is almost 12 years old with just over 53,000 miles on it.

      No, it's 2-wheel drive. I prefer the simplicity and slightly higher tow rating, and (knock on wood) we've not needed 4WD (yet)!!

      We had over 150,000 on our 2010, but we don't bring our little car with us most places.
